The Xukuruan languages are a language family proposed by Loukotka (1968) that links two languages of eastern Brazil.[2][3] Glottolog treats them as dialects of a singular Xukuru language.[4]

Classification

The languages are:

  • Xukurú
  • Paratió

Loukotka (1968) also lists the unattested Garañun (Garanhun), an extinct, undocumented language once spoken in the Serra dos Garanhuns.[2]
